Public-label analysis — not a wear test. How we evaluate products.
Innisfree Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Brightening Serum (AU official INCI used for this record) lists 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate with protease, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, madecassoside, and tangerine peel extract — a vitamin C derivative serum with an enzyme note, not a fade guarantee or a beginner first-active stack.
A brightening-focused Innisfree serum. The US listing used for this record names vitamin C, niacinamide, a green-tea-derived enzyme, tangerine peel extract, and hyaluronic acid, and lists a 1.01 fl oz size. A full INCI was not captured, so fragrance, essential oils, and alcohol stay unknown. Listing brightening language is not treated as a fade guarantee. This record is Green Tea Enzyme Vitamin C Serum, not another Innisfree product.
Analysis
Choose this when vitamin C derivative + green-tea enzyme serum is the treatment job. Skip it when you only needed niacinamide or HA.
Introduce one treatment at a time. Daytime pair with sunscreen — vitamin C does not replace SPF.
Enzyme/protease language is formula identity, not a measured peel strength.
AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is brand-stated 5% niacinamide with rosemary leaf oil. Innisfree’s AU serum centers vitamin C derivatives + protease — different primary active family.
Editorial interpretation
Judgments from recorded ingredients and routine context — not lab or wear-test results.
Best for

Consider if

- you accept protease (enzyme) on the INCI alongside vitamin C derivatives
May not suit
- users new to several leave-on actives at once

Add after a simple cleanser–moisturizer–sunscreen core feels stable.
Not beginner-friendly as a first active stack. Not a pigment-erasing timeline. Morning use still needs sunscreen.
